The family of a girl murdered in 1998 have sued Overland Park and the police, alleging they took no action when she told them she had been threatened. The suit also named the man convicted of the murder and three other men.

Aubrey Phalp, who was 17 at the time, told police on June 23, 1998, that the four men either attacked or threatened her or watched the incident, according to the suit. The suit said police told the alleged attackers that she was not credible because she suf- fered from bipolar disorder and had not been taking her medication. The suit alleged tn.at she was taken to a cemetery eight days later and was told slie would wind up dead unless she dropped her complaint. Phalp disappeared Aug. 2, 1998.

Her body was found wrapped in chains in a lake three days later. Todd Miller Deal was convicted of premeditated, first- degree murder and is serving a life sentence. The lawsuit was filed in federal court by the girl's father, Randell; her mother, Arona; and her brother, Scott. Memories linger of grass runway Air traffic controller from early years to join 65th celebration By The Associated Press WICHITA When Charles Straub first started as an aircraft traffic controller, airplanes hadn't yet spanned the Atlantic. Those were the days when air traffic control meant tossing an armful of colored flags, a bright yellow umbrella and a wooden stool into a wheelbarrow and taking up a position alongside a grassy landing strip.

Wherever the yellow umbrella was located was the "control tower," and the pilots sometimes buzzed the controller to see if they could blow his umbrella over, he said. "Some of the kids say I'm the oldest surviving air traffic controller in the country," said Straub, 94. "My controller number is 28." Today, he and some of the other old-timers air traffic controllers, weather bureau workers, communications specialists and a few pilots will help another old friend celebrate its 65th birthday. The original Wichita Air Terminal, dedicated in 1935, now serves as the Kansas Aviation Museum. The museum will host a reunion and dinner today for those airport pioneers.

The museum will be open to the public from 1 to 5 p.m., but reservations for the dinner and the reunion program are limited to those who worked at the old airport terminal or flew planes in and out of it. "This old building did a lot for the community and for the nation," Straub said. "A lot of "Some of the kids say I'm the oldest surviving air traffic controller in the country. My controller number is 28." Charles Straub former Wichita airport manager military pilots were trained here and know about Wichita because of it." In the late 1930s, Straub supervised the design, construction and operation of Wichita's first aircraft control tower, a temporary wooden structure that rose out of the roof in the center of the yellow-brick building. Later, a permanent brick control tower replaced it.

Straub learned his craft in St. Louis, where he remembers seeing the first airmail flights come in and seeing Charles Lindbergh return in triumph from his historic trans-Atlantic flight in the "Spirit of St. Louis." "Yeah, we gave him landing instructions there," said Straub, recalling Lindbergh as "kind of a loner who kept to himself." Straub, who was always a city employee, not a federal worker, trained many air traffic controllers who were quickly snapped up by the federal government. He went on to become the Wichita Air Terminal manager, handling everything from keeping books to landing planes, clearing snow from the runways and cutting and baling hay. Organ Digital model less costly FROM PAGE B1 "There aren't very many kids who have gotten as excited about this as I was when I came to church," he said.

Hassman said some of the luster seems to have worn off the organist profession, as evidenced by the lack of professional organists. "Maybe a part of it is that it doesn't pay so well," he said. "And maybe it isn't looked upon as a profession." However, a deluge of new organ technology has helped create organs, like the one recently purchased by Belmont Christian Church, that don't require an organist. The new digital Johannus Orgelbeau organ can play recorded music. Lightning strikes the organ Installed during the second week of July, the new organ was badly needed.

Belmont Christian's former organ was damaged when lightning struck the cross of the church about 10 years ago, Pastor Dennis Patience said. The congregation has been feeding a special organ fund in the decade since to raise the needed for a new instrument, purchased from Hough Piano Organ 128 S. Santa Fe. Designed and built in Ede, Holland, the Johannus Orgel- beau organ has digitally recorded pipe sounds from Europe. "When you play it, the organ speaks the same sounds that Johann Sabastian Bach's music did," said Don Hough, owner of Hough's Piano and Organ.

"It's the quality sound of a pipe organ, but when you look inside, there are no pipes." The difference between digital and pipe organs goes beyond pipes the price tag on a digital organ is a fraction of a pipe organ's $900,000 cost. The digital organ also lacks the need to be tuned two or three times a year, as well as other maintenance. Hassman's goal for Sunday's dedication is to demonstrate the new organ's many capabilities and successfully combine its music with the voices of the congregation in hymns. "(Hymns) are the best test of any organ and the organist," he said. Reporter Tana Thomson can be reached at 823-6464, Ext.
